If there are no leaks in the evaporator then yes, just a good flushing will suffice (there may be blockage on the evaporator). If there is a leak....well either plan on taking about 20 or so hours to dissasemble the dash to get the new one in and putting everything back together. Or spending a lot of money at the shop for it.

You could hook it up to a vacuum pump to see if it holds vacuum. If it doesn't hold you will have to find where the leak is coming from.
